This was my first year participating in Armchair BEA and I really enjoyed it. While I didn’t take home as much swag as from the actual BEA, do I really need more books? (Don’t answer that.) What I did take home was many more interactions with other booklovers, and I think that was actually easier to do in this context as I am much more shy to approach people in person. I found many new blogs and met people I hope to continue the conversation with in the coming months. I’ll definitely be back for more!
Here are my posts for the week:
Day One: Introduction
Day Two: Author Interactions (my letter from Robin McKinley)
Day Three: Short Stories/Novellas (my list of favorites)
Day Four: Giveaway (a copy of Tell Me a Story)
Day Five: Middle Grade/YA (review of Enchantress from the Stars)
Many thanks to all who made this event possible.
This year seemed better than ever for connecting and for the exchange of meaningful comments. I met several new to me bloggers and will be back as well. It was nice meeting you this week. I look forward to your posts in the future.

I've had so much fun visiting all the blogs on Armchair BEA. This is my first year and I've had such a good time that I plan to come back next time. I've added a ton of books to my TBR list as well as added a lot of book friends on twitter, goodreads, and bloglovin. Thank you so much for participating and making it a great first year for me.

Is it possible to take more home than you do at BEA? LOL I had a good time this week, too. Great to meet new people and revisit old friends.
